Chapter 1 New Family
We come to a large japanese-style house in the kitchen where a lightly tan skinned 37 year old woman having black hair tied in a bun as bangs framed her forehead with black eyes wearing a dark blue jacket with a white shirt under it, dark blue pants, and black shoes was cooking breakfast with a lightly tan skinned 38 year old man having black hair that is parted in the middle with black eyes wearing a dark blue hoodie, black pants, and green boots was at the table reading the newspaper.
"Minetaka-kun, are those two up yet?" The woman asked looking at the man.
"They should be getting up last time I checked up on them, Midori-chan." The man said looking up from his paper at the woman.
"Don't worry, Kaa-chan and Tou-chan. We're up."
"Yeah, we just had to get ready for the day."
Midori and Minetaka turned to the door to see two teen walk through the door.
The first was a 13 year old girl having black bob style hair as bangs framing her forehead that had two grey hairclips on the sides of her head above her ears with dark grey almost blackish eyes wearing a black shirt, blue pants, and blue shoes.
The second was a 15 year old boy having spiky blonde hair with blue eyes wearing a crimson long sleeved shirt, black pants, and black boots.
"I bet. No doubt Suguha was hogging the bathroom and Naruto wanted extra sleep." Minetaka teased.
"You're right there Tou-chan." The girl giggled.
"Hey! Do you know how much sleep I need to look this good? Soon I'll be a heartthrob." The boy huffed crossing his arms.
"I have no doubt you will be." Midori chuckled.
"Kaa-chan, don't encourage him." Suguha sighed.
"You know I'm right Sugu-chan. My Naru-kun is going to be so handsome when he's older, and then my dream of spoiling grandbabies will come true!" Midori squealed twirling around.
"Again with the grandbabies." Minetaka sweatdropped.
"Well all mothers DO want grandbabies." Naruto stated.
"Must be a Mom thing." Suguha shrugged.
This was the normal life of the Kirigaya family that consist of married couple Minetaka and Midori their adopted son Naruto and birth child Suguha.
One night 15 years ago a 23 year old Minetaka and 22 year old Midori found a baby Naruto alone in a alley crying his heart out with a scroll beside him and his skin was as cold as ice from being out in the cold night and they decided to take him back to their house. From the scroll they found out his name was Naruto and he was born on October 10th, Minetaka wanted to report this to the police for child abandonment and endangerment, but Midoru felt a sudden connection with the baby boy. When Naruto opened his eyes and looked at the Kirigaya couple he laughed with joy and that immediately warmed and struck their hearts which led them to adopt him calling him Naruto Kirigaya.
For the next two years Naruto has been Midori and Minetaka's little sunshine as they called him cause of his hair and every moment they loved being parents. It got better when Midori found out she was pregnant and going to have a baby girl she and Minetaka were ecstatic while Naruto was overjoyed and couldn't wait to be a big brother. The days during the pregnancy were stressful, but Naruto's cheerfulness made things up for it, especially when he started to help Midori with everything she needed when Minetaka couldn't. It was sweet and thoughtful that made them love Naruto even more and knew he was going to be an amazing man when he grew up.
When the baby came and was named Suguha Kirigaya both parents were overjoyed for the new addition to the family. When Naruto delicately held his new baby sister Suguha looked at him and giggled as if showing she loved her new big brother and Naruto laughed with her showing he felt the same way while Minetaka and Midoru could only look at their children with content knowing an unbreakable bond was shared between them.
And it really became an unbreakable bond as Naruto cared for Suguha like a saint when the parents were busy, and as they got older Naruto and Suguha did everything together, play games, watch tv, went to the park, take up kendo and martial arts, they even played in the tub together treating it like a water wonderland. Naruto and Suguha had the best of times and the worst of times, but they always had each others back.
When they started school things were tough for Naruto as people always picked on him or said mean things cause of his hair as everyone thought he was a delinquent who dyed his hair. It got even harder when people bullied him and he retallied by fighting and beating them up especially when it came to other people being bullied. Everyone stayed away from him and no one wanted to be his friend. It got so bad that one day when Naruto came home he had black hair dye in his hand and about to change his hair color so people will like him and he could fit in.
But when the family heard and saw what he was about to do they were livid.
"Now listen to me my little sunshine. Those people are just jerks who can't understand someone as wonderful as you. You're not the problem they are. You don't need to change anything about yourself sweetie." Midori soothed.
"That's right my boy. You always go out your way to help those who need it without expecting anything in return. You are a protector. Someone who defends others cause it's right. Don't give in to what people want from you. Stay true to yourself, cause we love the way you are." Minetaka said strongly.
"Yeah! Onii-chan is fine the way he is! To me your way is like a ray of hope that gives me strength to take on any obstacle that is thrown at me! Never change who you are! To me you are the best guy there is, and can take on anything that's thrown your way! Never forget that, Onii-chan!" Suguha shouted out passionately.
From that day Naruto stayed true to himself and never looked back.
For his family.
It was only recently when he turned 13 did he discover something shocking.
He was from another dimension.
Naruto one night got his memories back from his past life and remembered everything. He also knew that he was given a new life here to make up for the one he had in the Elemental Nation. And while he missed his loved one in his old life, he was content with the life he now had.
He also started to get his powers back, but he felt he didn't really need them now and swore he would only use them in a serious and dire situation.
"So any plans for today kids?" Midori asked setting the food on the table.
"Me and Sugu-chan will be practicing our kendo skills in the dojo." Naruto said.
"Yeah according to grandpa, we're getting better and better with our training." Suguha grinned.
"Well that's wonderful to hear. Learning from him works wonders considering he was a policeman and kendo champion." Minetaka smiled.
"Matter of fact his birthday should be coming up soon." Midori said.
"That's right. Me and Naru-kun are gonna spend the whole day with him." Suguha said.
"No doubt he'll love that." Naruto said.
"Well I wouldn't doubt it." Minetaka chuckled.
"Well then how about we eat breakfast before we start the day." Midori giggled.
The family ate breakfast while talking about other things they'll be doing today and laughing at a joke hear and there. When they finished everyone helped with the dishes and clean up before Naruto and Suguha went to the dojo.
Dressed in keikogi and hakama with protective armor over them Naruto and Suguha stood across from each other and bowed before taking the basic kendo stance pointing their shinai at one another.
It was quite til they both charged forward and hit their shinai against each other, Naruto then striked downwards but Suguha jumped back dodging it before she swung her shinai sideways only for her attack to be blocked. Naruto directed the shinai upward before he fenced Suguha in the gut causing her to stagger back. Getting her footing again Suguha leaped at Naruto and slammed down her shinai onto his, but that was want she wanted as she twirled around and redirected his shinai and swiped across his chest making Naruto skid back.
"How do you like that, Naru-kun?" Suguha grinned.
"Not bad Suga-chan." Naruto smirked.
They bothed charged again exchanging slashes, feint attack, and blows to one another looking like to be evenly matched, but as the battle was going it looked like Naruto was getting the upper hand on Suguha. Suguha tried a three-hit strike but Naruto was able to dodge out the way before he hit her on the head, on her side, and on the chest making her fall to her knees.
She quickly got up and swiped her shinai upwards like an uppercut nailing Naruto under his chin and into the air but he quickly backflipped to center himself back on his feet before leaping at Suguha and twirled around in a tornado getting through her defenses knocking her shinai out her hands and her into the ground where Naruto had his shinai pointed at her face.
"Looks like I win this one." Naruto stated.
"Darn it." Suguha pouted.
Naruto then helped Suguha up before they set their shinai and armor aside and sat on the porch looking at their backyard to take a break and enjoy their relaxation.
"How many matches is that now?" Naruto asked.
"62 to 56, with you still leading." Suguha huffed.
"Come on Sugu-chan. Don't get so bent out of shape about it." Naruto said.
"We started kendo together! So how is it you're better than me?!" Suguha whinned.
"Well I am older. And the older sibling is suppose to be stronger than the younger one."
"Doesn't mean I have to like it! We're suppose to be equals!"
"Look at it this way." Naruto grabbed Suguha and put her in his lap making her squeak as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "The way I am now, you'll know that I'll always be there to protect you." He smiled.
Suguha sighed before smiling at Naruto and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I know you'll always protect me, Onii-chan. I just don't want to feel left behind." She confessed.
"I'll never leave you behind, Imouto-chan. Next to Tou-chan and Kaa-chan, you're the most important thing in the world to me." Naruto said passionately.
Smiling at one another Naruto and Suguha held each other tighter and enjoyed the moment between them.
Later that day Naruto was in his room on his computer desk watching a video from said computer about some merc with a mouth fightning against a peppy party pony.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Oh man! That's rich!" Naruto laughed trying to not bust a gut.
"Sweetie?" Naruto paused the video and turned around to see Midori walking through the door with a basket of clothes.
"Yeah, Kaa-chan?" Naruto asked.
"Do you think you could help me with the laundry? Your father went out to get the groceries, and Suguha felt to hang with her friends." Midori requested.
"Sure thing, Kaa-chan. I'm always hapy to help." Naruto smiled getting up from the desk.
"Thank you, my little sunshine." Midori smiled.
"Kaa-chan, I'm older now. You can't keep calling me little sunshine." Naruto rubbed the back of his head embarrassed.
"You know I can't. No matter how old you get you'll always be a little sunshine that can light up my day." Midori giggled.
While he wanted to be embarrassed, Naruto couldn't help but love how Midori felt about him thinking he could always light up her day.
Naruto and Midori went towards the laundry room and began to put the dirty clothes into the washer and took the clean clothes out the dryer. They then made their way into the living room and began folding up clothes.
"So Naruto, I've been meaning to ask you something." Midori said.
"What's that?" Naruto asked.
"How have you been doing with your studies?" Midori wondered.
"Doing good. I'm one of the top three smartest kids in my school." Naruto said.
"That's good to hear, sweetie."
"Well you did say a real man is both strong and smart."
"Did I say that?"
"Yeah. You said it was one of the things that attracted you to Tou-chan."
"I'm surprised you'd paid attention to that."
"Come on, Kaa-chan. You always say that one of the ways to win a girl over is that you listen to her when she talk. That shows you care what she saids, you're a good listener, and you don't think low of women."
"I have taught you well if you take my lesson to heart."
"You know what you be talking about when you give me advise on how to earn a girl's heart."
"Aww, my little man." Midori cooed pincing Naruto cheek affectionately.
"Kaa-chan! Cut it out!" Naruto laughed.
Naruto and Midori played around a little bit more before they finished the clothes just in time for Minetaka to come back with the groceries.
"I see you're back." Midori said setting the basket of folded clothes down.
"Yep, and I got everything you wanted." Minetaka said holding the bags up.
"Perfect. I can get started on our favorite dinner." Midori said taking the bags.
"You mean beef stew with macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and meat buns?!" Naruto exclaimed drooling at the thought.
"You know it." Midori winked before heading to the kitchen.
"Oh man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it." Naruto grinned.
"Well how about before you drool about food you help me with the car in the garage?" Minetaka chuckled.
"What's wrong with it?" Naruto asked.
"Not the family car, the other one. The one I'll give you when your older." Minetaka said.
"Oh, sure." Naruto nodded.
Minetaka and Naruto went to the big garage where there were two cars. A black mercedes suv and a red buick cadillac.
"So what's wrong with the cadillac?" Naruto asked.
"Just a few things that need a few tweaking. I'm sure us two dudes can handle it." Minetaka grinned.
"You betcha." Naruto grinned back.
Minetaka and Naruto began fixing up the things that needed to be fix for the car.
"So tell me son, have you been able to make any friends yet?" Minetaka asked.
"None yet, Tou-chan. People are still on the fence about me." Naruto huffed.
"I guess they still think you're a delinquent. It's a shame people can't see you for who you are."
"I'm not worried. If they judge me by my looks alone, that proves how shallow they are."
"Can't argue with that. Also what was that about being a heartthrob this morning?"
"I know I have good looks Tou-chan. I guarantee girls with throw themselves at me as I get older."
"How can you be so sure."
"Fangirls."
They both shuddered at that.
"Are they small?" Minetaka asked.
"Luckly they are, but I'm sure they'll grow when I'm older." Naruto said.
"Just make sure you find a girl that loves you for you." Minetaka smiled.
"You got it, Tou-chan." Naruto smiled back.
The two guys worked on the cadillac for a few more hourse before they finished just as Suguha came into the garage.
"Have you guys been out here long?" Suguha asked.
"Awhile yeah. We just finished on the cadillac." Minetaka said coming out from under said car.
"This baby will be good to go when I come of age." Naruto said closing the hood.
"Well Kaa-chan said that she's done with dinner and wanted me to come get you guys." Suguha said.
"You've been home long?" Naruto asked.
"No, I got home ten minutes ago." Suguha said.
"Well why don't we go inside and enjoy our favorite dinner?" Minetaka grinned.
"Yeah." Naruto and Suguha nodded.
That night the Kirigaya family enjoyed their favorie dinner with laughs and stories, just basking in the family love that they had for one another. When they were done they enjoyed a family silence watching tv of their favorite hour long program. As it went off the family each went to their rooms to turn in for the night.
As Naruto got ready for bed his computer flashed getting his attention. Going towards it he saw that he got an email.
"That's strange. No one has my address." Naruto muttered opening up the email.

"I've heard of him. He's a world known scientest wanting to make an epic breakthrough in gaming and computers." Naruto said thinking about this golden opportunity he was given. "Why not see what this game Sword Art Online is about. The games I've been playing lately have become boring as of late." He smiled. "Who knows, it could give me a thriller."
Having decided Naruto got off his computer and layed in bed dreaming about the new game he was going to be testing.
